The possibilities are endless!

Amigurumi Peppermint Latte

In recent years, I’ve been delighted to see how much folks have been loving my Amigurumi Pumpkin Spice Latte! It’s a fall staple, and almost as fun to crochet as it is to drink! So I’ve been planning a holiday edition for a while. What better motif to use than a classic peppermint / candy cane flavor? This little latte really comes to life thanks to the addition of candy canes – I used a resin ornament, but you could easily make some using pipe cleaners. Or how about finding a way to temporarily attach wrapped, real candy canes so that this is a two-in-one gift?! It’s highly customizable, so go ahead and get creative when making your coffee cutie!

I got my resin ornament in a two-pack at Dollar Tree, but here’s something similar from Amazon that could also work well!
